Financial Accounting: International Financial Reporting Standards 9/e

For introductory courses in Financial Accounting taught from a more traditional “preparer” approach.
Financial Accounting helps students “nail” the accounting cycle up front in order to increase success and retention later on. The concepts and mechanics students learn in the critical ‘accounting cycle’ chapters are used consistently and repetitively—and with clear-cut details and explanations—throughout the remainder of the text, minimizing confusion.
Consistency, Repetition, and a High Level of Detail
Throughout the text, the core concepts and mechanics are brought together using consistent language, format, and formulas. Students also receive thorough explanations and details that show the meaning behind each concept and how to do the computation following it. So whether it’s the first transaction or the last, students perform the analysis in the same way, reinforcing their understanding, reducing the level of confusion and frustration, and helping them capture those “I get it!” moments.
Better Coverage of the Accounting Cycle from Start to Finish
•Chapter 1 introduces the accounting cycle with a brief financial statement overview, using the financial statements of J.Crew Group, Inc. This first exposure to accounting explores financial statements in depth, familiarizes students with using real business data, and points out basic relationships between the different types of statements.
•Chapter 2 continues the discussion of the accounting cycle by explaining how to analyze and record basic transactions, and builds in repetition to ensure that students understand the fundamentals when they prepare the trial balance.
•Chapter 3 concludes the discussion of the accounting cycle with adjusting and closing entries, and preparation of the related trial balances to close the loop for students. (more... 敬請連結參考網址)
